Abstract :
Livability is an evaluative approach used to assess the standard of living and effectiveness of various regions based on a mixed-methods approach. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive indicator for evaluating and ranking the livability of cities, using diverse indicators related to spatial and non-spatial parameters such as urban growth, transportation, public realm, neighbourhood demand, community satisfaction, economic purchasing power of the population, and environmental purity. Focusing on nine cities in the Abu Dhabi Emirate, the study utilizes geometric methods to combine socioeconomic and environmental information into dimension indices, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process is utilized to determine weights, forming a composite index. The results, derived from Multi-Dimensional Indices Analysis, highlight disparities among the cities, with Bani Yas City ranking first overall. However, recommendations have been made for Al Shamkhah to address the public realm, transportation, and infrastructure needs. Khalifah City is identified as the most livable, excelling in planning provision, infrastructure, transportation, quality of life, urban economy, and environment. The study provides significant policy implications, offering decision-makers insights to prioritize implementation plans and improve areas based on the selected indicators and dimensions.
